Add value from data layer variable at the end of hyperlink

I am trying to get a vlaue from a data layer variable and add it to the end of a hyperlink.
So if my hyperlink is https://www.somehyperlink.com and my variable is variable1 with value 23 i want the final hyperlink to be https://www.somehyperlink.com/23.
I've got this code, which is probably not the best way to do it, but I'm not sure how to replace the last part of it with the value from the variable:
(function () {
var links = document.querySelectorAll( 'a[href="https://www.somehyperlink.com/replace"]')
var searchString = "replace"
var replacementString = "value-from-variable"
links.forEach(function(link){
var original = link.getAttribute("href");
var replace = original.replace(searchString,replacementString)
link.setAttribute("href",replace)
})
})();
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

The code works, try to apply it in a Custom HTML Tag instead Custom Javascript variable.
Step 1:
create a Data Layer Variable called i.e. 'DLV value to replace' and assign the name of the variable in the Data Layer Variable Name field.
Step 2:
apply the Data Layer Variable to your Custom HTML code.
See below:
<script>
var links = document.querySelectorAll( 'a[href="https://www.somehyperlink.com/replace"]')
var searchString = "replace"
var replacementString = {{DLV value to replace}}
links.forEach(function(link){
var original = link.getAttribute("href");
var replace = original.replace(searchString,replacementString)
link.setAttribute("href",replace)
})
</script>

Submitting a form through google scripts

I need to submit a form in a google script but get this error:
TypeError: Cannot call method "withItemResponse" of undefined
According to the link below, this is how it should be set up https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/forms/form#createResponse()
Code:
//Submit form
var formID = row[24];
var form = FormApp.openById(formID);
Logger.log(form.getId()); //returns correct ID
form.createResponse() ;
form.FormResponse.withItemResponse('Core Teachers', logSummary);
//form has only two questions, a short text and a paragraph text
form.FormResponse.submit();

form.createResponse() returns a FormResponse, which you need to assign to a variable.
also, withItemResponse() expects an object of type ItemResponse. I am not familiar with google forms, but maybe this gets you in the right direction:
var formID = row[24];
var form = FormApp.openById(formID);
var formResponse = form.createResponse();
// get items of form and loop through
var items = form.getItems();
for (index = 0; index < a.length; ++index) {
var item = items[index]
// Cast the generic item to the text-item class. You will likely have to adjust this part. You can find the item classes in the documentation. https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/forms/item-type.
if (item.getType() == 'TEXT') {
var textItem = item.asTextItem();
var itemresponse = textItem.createResponse('Core Teachers');
formResponse.withItemResponse(itemresponse);
}
}
formResponse.submit();
Generally, when the documentation of a method lists as parameter type something else than primitive types like String or Boolean you need to create or aquire an object of that type, like I did with createResponse. You need to familiarize yourself with these and other principles because the GoogleAppsScript documentation assumes knowledge of them.

Google Script: Format URL in Array.Push

I have a working script that upon form submit, specific rows move from one sheet to another. One of the fields I'm pushing is a url.
On the second sheet, the link is listed and it is hyperlinked, but it's really ugly and I really want to format it so that it shows "Edit" with a hyperlink. I've tried a number of ways, but my knowledge is limited so all I get are errors. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
Here is my code. I'm very new at this so the script is not at all sophisticated. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated!
function copyAdHoc(){
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sh = SpreadsheetApp.setActiveSheet(ss.getSheetByName("Form Responses 1"));
var data = sh.getRange(2, 1, sh.getLastRow() - 1, sh.getLastColumn()).getValues();
// Grab the Headers from master sheet
var headers = sh.getRange(1,1,1,sh.getLastColumn()).getValues();
var date = headers[0].indexOf('Effective Date');
var name = headers[0].indexOf('Employee Name');
var loc = headers[0].indexOf('Location');
var issue = headers[0].indexOf('Description/Question/Issue');
var add = headers[0].indexOf('Additional Information');
var change = headers[0].indexOf('Is this a Qualifying Life Event?');
var url = headers[0].indexOf('Form URL');
var category = headers[0].indexOf('Primary Category');
var status = headers[0].indexOf('Current Status');
var users = headers[0].indexOf('Users');
// Grab only the relevant columns
for(n = 0; n < data.length; ++n ) { // iterate in the array, row by row
if (data[n][change] !== "Yes" & data[n][category] !== "Employee Relations" & data[n][date] !== "") { // if condition is true copy the whole row to target
var arr = [];
arr.push(data[n][url]);
arr.push(data[n][users]);
arr.push(data[n][date]);
arr.push(data[n][loc]);
arr.push(data[n][name]);
arr.push(data[n][category]);
arr.push(data[n][issue] + ". " + data[n][add]);
arr.push(data[n][status]);
var sh2 = SpreadsheetApp.setActiveSheet(ss.getSheetByName("Ad Hoc")); //second sheet of your spreadsheet
sh2.getRange(sh2.getLastRow()+1,2,1,arr.length).setValues([arr]); // paste the selected values in the 2cond sheet in one batch write
}
}
}

It's a bit messy but the only way I know to achieve what you're trying to do would be to insert a column to the left of the hyperlink with the word Edit right justified and then remove the borders between the two.

From your description I am assuming you want the word "Edit" to be Hyperlinked. To do so, try this:
function getHyperlink(url)
{
return "=HYPERLINK(\""+url+"\","+"\"Edit\""+")";
}
function mainFunct()
{
//Do necessary steps
var tarLink = "https://www.google.com";
var tarRng = tarSheet.getRange(rowNum, colNum).setValue(getHyperlink(tarLink));
//perform other steps
}
EDIT:
Forgot to mention, since you're pushing your values to the array... you can do it in a similar way by either just storing the hyperlink in a variable or directly pushing it to the array like all the other values. Or if you're dealing with a hyperlink that has a static and dynamic part, For example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/post_id, where post_id keeps changing but most of the URL is static, you can easily handle it by just passing the post_id to the getHyperlink function and getting the required Hyperlink in return. Hope this helps.

Can't get element javascript google apps script

I'm trying to get the link element in a feed, i can get the description and title, but cannot get the link element. It seems weird to me. Here is my code
var url = "http://healthyhow.net/feed";
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url);
var shareDoc = Xml.parse(response.getContentText(), true);
var root = shareDoc.getElement(); // feed element
var entries = root.getElement("channel").getElements("item");
for (var i=0; i<1; i++) { //just pick the first entry
var e = entries[i];
var title = e.getElement("title").getText();
var link = e.getElement("link").getText();
var description = e.getElement("description").getText();
}
Could anyone point out what is wrong here?
Thanks!

The docs indicate you should use lenient parsing for HTML - it's unclear what this is doing underneath, but in your case maybe it's confusing an HTML <link> element with a generic XML element with that same tag name. It appears to parse the link entries into something like this for your code (which you can see in shareDoc.toXmlString()):
<link/>http://healthyhow.net/l-arginine-natural-treatment-for-hypertension/
Since it's an empty tag, no text.
Change:
var shareDoc = Xml.parse(response.getContentText(), true);
to be:
var shareDoc = Xml.parse(response.getContentText(), false);
and you should be able to get the link text.

Show javascript array value in input type hidden

I have a question regarding Javascript array.
I have the following javascript array:
var startTimeList= new Array();
I've put some values in it. Now I have the following input (hidden type):
<input type="hidden" value"startTimeList[0]" name="startTime1" />
Hoewever, this is obviously not correct because the javascript array is not recognized in the input hidden type. So I cant even get one value.
Does anyone know how I can get a value in the input type from a javascript array?

You need to set the value in Javascript:
document.getElementById(...).value = startTimeList[0];

Use this :
<script>
window.onload = function() {
document.getElementsByName("startTime1")[0].value = startTimeList[0];
}
</script>

You have to set value from javascript.
Something like document.getElementById (ID).value = startTimeList[0];
You execute javascript from body oload event.

You need to set the value through JavaScript itself so.
document.getElementById("startTime1").value = startTimeList[0];
Or JQuery
$("#startTime1").val(startTimeList[0]);
Assign "startTime1" as the id above.

You can find your element by name with:
document.getElementsByName(name)[index].value = 'new value';
OR
You should identify your element and then change the value;
Give your element an ID for example id="ex"
Get the element with JavaScript(of course once the DOM is ready) with var element = document.getElementById('ex')
Change the value with element.value = 'your value';

You'd need to split the array into a delimited string and then assign that string to the value of the hidden input.
Then, on postback or similar events you'd want to parse the value back into an array for use in JavaScript:
var startTimeList = [1,2,3,4,5];
var splitList = '';
for(var i = 0; i < startTimeList.length; i++)
{
splitList += startTimeList[i] + '|';
}
and back again:
var splitList = '2|4|6|8|';
var startTimeList = splitList.split('|');
